shizzlemanizzle Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Setting aside (briefly) the extremely childish jibes about your 3 sided stadium, is there a plan for a fourth stand? Asked the same question to thistle fans recently about Firhill and it seems that, along with finances, the main stumbling block is planning permission and more specifically local residents being wanks and objecting to living next to a football stadium after having bought or rented a property next to a football stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he good enough to be our backup right back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, too close to the “blast zone” of the refinery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say it's part of a longer term ambition but the truth is without premier League money and crowds there isn't really a need for it at the moment. As far as I'm aware there is long standing approved planning permission so it's just a case of cash and demand really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blast zone stuff is no longer an issue. It’s purely down to finance, we’re a fan owned club, don’t have rich owners and don’t have the money just now to build a stand/terracing in the space. Plus where we have been the past 5 seasons there was no real need for it, the support the majority of teams brought in League One we could just shove them in the corner of the Main Stand and didn’t really need to open the North Stand never mind thinking about building a fourth stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, suppose it makes sense to not build an unneeded stand if the current capacity cuts it. Falkirk more than any club have been wronged by the previous nonsensical stadium requirements. A terraced standing area would be cracking though. 3 sides is still tinpot (I did say briefly. Soz) Edited 2 hours ago by shizzlemanizzle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the opposite, no hangover but in hospitality so I really want to win and then get minging afterwards. I’ll have the hangover on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lean into the Saturday beers. The first few will be difficult but come 3pm you’ll locked and loaded. Coz you’ll not have the tonic of 3 points and if you drink enough you’ll not even realise. Sunday might get a bit awks so I would suggest more beer. Repeat on Monday if necessary. And, erm Tuesday etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Watret will move on so he may not need to go to such extremes to be backup to the following right backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
